Odd that the list titled Rajput includes the Iris, the Javanese, the Scottish and the Zulus all are races which though in several differing colonies of the British Empire, earned the respect of British soldiers and their commanders as warriors-or worthy adversaries.

The film Zulu [1] depicts the Battle of Rorke's Drift between the British Army and the Zulus in January 1879, during the Anglo-Zulu War. A small group of British soldiers held off thousands of Zulus who ended up honoring the British as admirable, worthy valorous warriers.

Definitely a warrior's film.

Tarkhan

As it states Tarkhans being present in Timur Lane's army. However,this is wrong for Tarkhans of Indian Subcontinent. As Tarkhans were present way before Timur Lane's attacks. For example:

Tarkhan Nizak a King of Baghdis (around 650 AD)

Tarkhan of Samarkand (7th century)

Tarkhan Dynasty of Gilgit (7-8th century)


Hiuen Tsang a Chinese traveller (602-664AD) also makes mention of various Tarkhans in his travel writings

Chebishi Tarkhan in Gandhara Kingdom in 753 AD

Kasgarli Mehmut a 11th century Historian defined word TARKHAN of being SOGDIAN Language, centuries before Timur.

I can provide you references and citation.
